Thanks everybody for the advice!! It should be noted that she's partially blind, so she will use her face to find her way around new things in her cage. She shed yesterday and all of the damaged skin came off with no ulceration underneath. I'd been keeping it moist with ointment. So that part is over thankfully! I've seen some things about vermiculite containing asbestos....so that worries me. I've also got a rat snake, who seems to have eggs too. Do they always stop eating prior to laying, and do they always shed before they lay? Do the laying containers need to be opaque? There's so much info out there and I'm not sure what the best course of action is. I've got experience with cyclura and eggs, but none of my snakes have laid so far....the king is about 11 years old and the rat is about 5. Our beardie is working on eggs too....eggs for everyone LOL!! Any thoughts? Advice? Thanks in advance!!!
